The Forest Film Trailer Review


What can we say about The Forest (2016) official movie trailer? Well, to what we can make of the film from the official trailer we can tell that there are quite a few (cheap) jump scares which you will either love or hate. Well this is an American film but somehow I kind of feel that Hollywood is emulating more of what makes Japanese horror endearing. Japan has quite a massive folklore and unique culture to work with; this is probably why they are able to effectively pull off good scares unlike that of the US horror films as of recent memory. This is maybe we are seeing more and more US adaptation of Asian horror or Western horror films setting up shop in Asia, mainly Japan. The Forest is still an American horror and it shows with the horror mascot it prefer to show on the trailer, a man with whose decayed faced is visible on the sack placed in his head. I don't know maybe the guy has some significance to the story; could be quite disappointing if he has none.


The premise is nothing really groundbreaking, a sister starts seeking out her twin who was reported to last seen in Japan's Suicide Forest in Aokigahara which is at the foot of Mt. Fuji and once there horror ensues. I don't know but basing from the Wiki entry that the film is categorized as a horror and a thriller. I can sense that this is heading more of a psychological thriller route and the vivid images we see might just be in the head of Sara, or I don't know maybe there is a "paranormal" connection. The question is will that mystery makes you want to go see the film when it hits the theater on January 2016?

There is something fascinating about learning the life of well-known people through biographical films. Some of them inspire, makes us realize, thugs your heart strings, and many more. Then there are those like The Iceman, which is a biopic of a notorious killer.

Although anyone can easily Google or Wikipedia the life of Richard Kuklinski, the Iceman, there is still something special about this film. Well, maybe because I am one of those guys whose into Showtime's Dexter television series, or someone who's generally curious about how did the Iceman lived a double life of a loving family man and a ruthless hired killer at the same time. Well don't get me wrong, I condone the act of murder or any criminal act that disregard human rights, but there is something curious with themes like this. Call it a guilty pleasure. It gives us an idea of a life of someone that we never could be. Not to mention, the movie adaptation of the true story of the Iceman features a cast of great actors. This film is definitely on our must-watch list of 2012.

Skyfall Film Trailer Review

Agent 007 is dead. Really? Do you seriously believe that we would believe that? He should have died ages ago, but he is still here amidst all of the impossibilities of the mission (and the women) he has been assigned to. This time the story revolves around Bond's presumed dead after a failed mission which later compromised the whole MI6. Then we have Bond to rely again to hunt down the mastermind(s) behind it.

This 2012 we have another round of Daniel Craig as Agent 007's high octane action, cool gadgets, hot women, betrayal and conspiracies. There is nothing left to say, the trailer speaks for itself. Those who grew up with 007 and likes action will have no problem or have second thoughts with Skyfall.

The Prototype Film Trailer Review

Robots as a film's main theme is not really new or revolutionary when it comes to film making. The big question now is, in the hundreds of films that has robots as its main theme, how will The Prototype be any different?

Well if you have seen of appreciated the Bandito Brother's Act of Valor, then you might have expect something good from The Prototype, but if you aren't then you are in the dark just as everyone else. What we know based on this trailer is this: It will have a humanoid robot that cares for someone but to why and who is that person is probably the film's biggest twist/plot. The this prototype kicks ass but as to what his motivation for doing so is what we will have to eventually find out when this sci-fi thriller comes out in 2013 or somewhat later this 2012. We'll just have to wait for more trailers and info about this film.

Sinister Film Trailer Review

Horror film fans may argue to whether Paranormal Activity and Insidious are effective and good horror films, but for the rest of the world that loved the two recent horror film titles would probably expect a lot from Sinister. Sinister is a horror film from the same producers that made Paranormal Activity and Insidious, so how does the trailer fairs up with its predecessors?

Sinister's premise is not really authentic, a family moved into a house with a gruesome history which will later haunt their family as well. The only redeeming qualities of horror films under these kinds of caliber and cliche are the scares. A good mix of jump and psychological scares is always a plus in my book and so far, Sinister has some of them. Hope the film would offer something new or has some weird twist, but even if without them I would still see this film being a big fan of horror film and as for someone who liked the Paranormal Activity and Insidious.

Sam Raimi Presents The Possession Film Trailer Review

Another demonic horror film based on a true story, huh? So is there any truth to this claim? Well this time there are related articles written about the actual events that this movie was based from. The only question now is the authenticity of such stories, but if there is one thing that we can be certain is that such mythical and legendary tales about a demon in a box haunting its owners sure makes a good concept for a horror film.

That is what The Possession is all about. It is a Sam Raimi produced horror film based on a e-bay auctioned antique item called the Dybbuk Box which according to stories haunted the owners of whomever have possession on it. I wll probably feature the story of that box on CMAQUEST to further expand its lore since yours truly is a junkie of anything horror. Well what can I say about this trailer? Well a bhaunted item possessing its owners isn't really something new as a concept but some of the scenes showed in this film has some really interesting stuff. The plot has been literally been introduced in the trailer, but what is good about it is that it didn't feature the creepiest part of the film. Well it is safe to assume it that way. Well it looks decent and it somehow piqued a bit of my interest. Will probably give it a try once it gets a release date.

Finally a new sci-fi action trailer that really looks awesome! Yes, I feel genuinely interested in the Total Recall trailer. It is a remake of the 1990's Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall film but it feels right.

I can barely remember scenes from Total Recall, but I have a good idea that it was a complete action fest especially as it stars Arnold Schwarzenegger back then. Total Recall looks awesome back then and now. A different action movie for a different generation. With the special effects technology available for Hollywood's disposal, Total Recall is shaping to be the new action sci-fi blockbuster.

The House at the End of the Street trailer has an interesting movie trailer. It kind of reminiscent of Dead Island's trailer that plays backwards but it is really not. On that note, this trailer deserves some recognition.

A film about how curiosity killed the cat. What's the mystery behind that house at the end of the street? What are these explainable events that are vaguely shown in this trailer. H.A.T.E.S. film has some really intriguing things going on on its trailer. Hopefully it transcends to the actual product. The big question in my mind now to whether the film is really a horror (the supernatural kind) film or a psychological thriller?

Although journalism has its rewards, one can not deny that there is danger to it, especially when a journalist is dealing with a controversial and even dangerous kind of issue or news. This is the story of Sound of My Voice as it follows a journalist investigation about a strange cult.

Nope you won't find a man-eating or "satanic" cult here, only those weird type. You know, the type of cult that has an eccentric leader claiming that she came from the future. Is there any mystic or scientific truths to such absurd (if not insane) claims, or it is just another case of a vile manipulative con-artist with devious means leading its blind followers? The only way to unravel its mystery is to actually check it out.

Let's see a main character that is misunderstood, laughed at, and generally loathed by the rest of the characters turns out to be the hero that will save the day. Hmm now where have I seen that kind of plot?

What the stop motion animated film lacks in original plot, it makes up for with its visual presentation. ParaNorman is a good-looking 3-D stop motion animated film, and although we have seen such kind of storyline before it still somehow intrigues me a bit. ParaNorman seems to reference various popular horror icons as seen in the trailer. It is "too cute" to simply put it and this might become an advantage or disadvantage for the film. Will it be just a kids film or a film for the whole family? What is this cursed that threatens the town? How can a mere kid who can talk to communicate with ghosts fend off a horde of the undead and ultimately save the day?

The Raven Trailer Impressions: Edgar Allan Poe Versus a Serial Killer

The Raven is a 2012 thriller films which tells a fictionalized account of the last days in the life of the 19th Century literary author (poet) Edgar Allan Poe, in his pursues of a serial killer whose murders mirror those in his stories. Let's check out this What-If slasher mystery movie here:

The Raven
Plot / Synopsis

Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders.

When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper--part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.

The Raven is directed by James McTeigue, based on a screenplay by Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare which stars John Cusack, Alice Eve and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Raven is slated for an April 27, 2012 release.

The Raven Film Trailer Review

And who said Hollywood has run out of ideas? Well there are still some "what-if" scenarios they can played with. Like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Raven also feature an iconic historical literary author Edgar Allan Poe and fictionalize his story to become a hero in a potential blockbuster Hollywood film. The question is will it "be" on the case of The Raven?

Luckily the synopsis has somehow tells us that it is not Edgar Allan Poe whose responsible for all the murders copied by this serial killer which gives me great relief. The main protagonists being the main killer has been played over and over again in most films under the thriller or mystery genre. Hopefully it doesn't pull any trick shots and will eventually make him the serial killer after all, because that would suck. The Raven trailer looks pretty decent, and those who aren't familiar with the 19th Century author will definitely get a crash course of some of Poe's usually dark literary pieces. Avid fans of Poe's published works might put this film under critical scrutiny. Hopefully the film will engage both fans and non-fans of Edgar Allan Poe in this fictitious mystery thriller film.

Hollowface will come because someone called his name. So that is what will generally happen with 2012 horror film. The big mystery here is to whether Hollowface got freed or targeting his victims because he was written by the child protagonist, or was the female protagonist has this connection to Hollowface to know how it works?

I am personally intrigued at what this film has to offer. Besides the usual scares, I am conscious about the lore behind this Hollowface. Why entitled "intruders" when a figure like Hollowface is the one only shown in this film? How will mere humans fight off this seemingly supernatural evil, or is it really supernatural? Hopefully it is not too predictable and has a solid story and scares from beginning to end.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer Impressions: A Crazy Take on a Historical Figure with Vampires

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is 2012 supernatural thriller film based on a 2010 novel Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. This "what if" fictional supernatural horror film adaptation of the mashup novel gained mixed reviews back on 2010. The film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith which is slated for a June 2012 theatrical release plays with the idea that the historical American icon and 16th President of the United States was a vampire hunter. Let's take a look at this seemingly crazy idea of a book adapted to a 2012 film here.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Plot / Synopsis

President Lincoln's mother is killed by a supernatural creature, which fuels his passion to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is directed by Timur Bekmambetov, screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and is produced by Bekmambetov and Tim Burton. The film stars Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper and is distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Film Trailer Review

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has a pretty interesting yet crazy theme. Hopefully Americans won't take this film too seriously in a sense that they would find it insulting to see the country's greatest historical icon behind the abolition of slave trade and a symbol of equality as a vampire hunter.

I personally think this is fresh. I like "what-if" scenarios done right. Reading the summary of the novel which already spoiled the film for me, all I can say is that amidst the film's seemingly absurd and preposterous concept, the film hopefully would be as entertaining as the novel it is based from. I am optimistic that this film will be a good one and will be putting this under my watch-list this 2012.

7500 Trailer Impressions: American Horror Film Directed by the Creator of Ju-on Horror Film Series

7500 is a 2012 horror film under the direction of Takashi Shimizu, the creator of the the Japanese horror film series Ju-on which was later adapted by Hollywood and Americanized to be The Grudge horror film series. Will a Japanese director make this American horror film feel more like a scary Japanese horror or not? Let's find it out here.

7500
Plot / Synopsis

Passengers on a transpacific airliner (Vista Pacific Flight 7500) encounter what appears to be a supernatural force.

7500 is written by Adam Rosenberg (TV's Lost), produced by Taka Ichise (The Grudge), Roy Lee (The Ring); Executive Producer: John Middleton directed by Takashi Shimzu (The Grudge); Starring Ryan Kwanten (TV's "True Blood"), Leslie Bibb (Zookeeper), Nicky Whelan (Hall Pass), Jerry Ferrera (TV's "Entourage"), Christian Serratos (Twilight Saga), Jamie Chung (Hangover Part II), Amy Smart (TV's "Shameless").

7500 will be released Aug. 31 from CBS Films.

7500 Official Movie Trailer Impressions
7500 Film Trailer Review

Almost every idea and concept nowadays has either been taken or made already. The real challenge to every producers, directors and writers is to come up with something fresh even if it is under such said category. Seeing this airline thriller might remind you of a few films under the same set up like Snakes on the Plane, Red Eye, The Horror at 37000 Feet, The Twilight Zone movie, past action films with an airplane/airline as its main setting. So what does 7500 has in store for us, well it might be something good but chances are that it could also be bad.

There has been a great decline in quality Hollywood horror movies in the past decade or two and as a horror film fan it was quite a disappointment. Luckily, we have a great alternative, Asian horror movies. The original Japanese version of The Ring followed by Ju-On (The Grudge) were the first two Asian horror films that both entertained and scared the hell out of me. So when I heard that the creator of the Ju-On series was directing this airline thriller my hopes were raised a bit, but still the writer is still a US based one. I am not against a US writer, heck some of my most beloved horror film titles were written by good American writers, but there can be quite a handful of movie writers in the horror film genre who really sucked at providing a scary and convincing horror story. Hopefully, the creative input of the Japanese director could help save a potentially bad horror writing for the film. As a horror film fan, I've seen it all. Hopefully there is more to this film than just all passengers already dead and the entire film is about them being in limbo. Hopefully there is more to 7500. Categorized more as a supernatural thriller, my biggest question to 7500 is what is its difference with a straightforward horror title? On the bright side, the trailer didn't say much and it somehow added to the mystery of what could be this supernatural force to flight 7500's crew and passengers?

The Amazing Spider-Man Official Trailer Impressions: The Much Awaited Reboot "Untold" Film Version of Spider-Man's Origin

The Amazing Spider-Man Official Movie Trailer Impressions
The Amazing Spider-Man Film Trailer Review

The Amazing Spider-Man Official trailer seems to do what fans familiar to the series have always dreamed of, a somewhat loyal to its comics root film adaptation of Spider-Man. Some film fans were a bit skeptic at first when they heard that Hollywood is doing another reboot of the first Spider-Man film franchise (2002-2007) popularized by director Sam Raimi and actors Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. But after seeing The Amazing Spider-Man official trailer, this second attempt on the spider-Man film franchise is starting to

look pretty rad.

There are certain things to love and hate with the Raimi Trilogy Spider-Man film franchise. Particular things some familiar with the super hero series and critics alike questioned include the major alteration of the original Spider-Man lore: Miscasting characters from Mary Jane Watson being Peter's first love interest rather than Gwen Stacey to Gwen being just another office fling; and the injustice done (debatable) on the Spider-Man villain Venom on the last title in the Raimi's film trilogy. Some aspects that movie goers like on Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy were the various epic action moments of the film, superb character build up for Doctor Octopus, the original Spider-Man costume used in the film, and the actual concept of a Spider-Man film itself. But its 2012, and a different production team is behind that, so what does this new film franchise under Marc Webb has potentially in store for us this Summer of 2012?

Spider-Man in the sewers with The Lizard

Ben Parker is pretty much alive on this Spider-Man film reboot. The Amazing Spider-Man trailer hints that this is more about Peter's mysterious parents, his first year as the masked vigilante (because that is what Spider-Man really is), and his first romantic relationship with Gwen Stacy who happens to be the daughter of the the police out to get Spider-Man. All the elements of a right Spider-Man movie seems to be in this film. I am happy that Hollywood has learned from the mistakes of the first series and started to listen to what fans and film goers might actually like in a spider-Man film. This Spider-Man film is darker and has a more brooding Nolan Batman film feel to it, and I am fine with that. The amazing Spider-Man even pokes fun of the fact that Spider-Man wears a skin tight red and blue suit but still manages to kick some criminal and police butts.

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man

Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2012 reboot's first film villain is The Lizard. Growing up with the 90's Spider-Man the animated series, I can somewhat say that the film probably will stay true to Dr. Curt Connors (The Lizard) character of being a friend and potential mentor to Peter Parker but will later turned savage no thanks to the genetic alteration caused by The Lizard serum. But it seems like they are adding more to Doc Connors character by associating him with Peter's parents who mysteriously left him in the care of his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. To what the connections all are makes The Amazing Spider-Man a must see.

The Lizard Unveiled - Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors aka The Lizard

Times are changing, and what people might love r hate with past films might (or might not be) remedied by newer versions. Some films are worth rebooting, while some just need to be left alone, and what of Spider-Man? Well, after seeing this trailer all I can say is that this reboot is very much needed and a welcome addition to the excellent superhero film franchise under Marvel Entertainment.

What about you guys? What do you think about the 2012 reboot of spider-Man by director Marc Webb? What are you excited for in this new Spider film series? Share your thoughts on the comments section below:
